So thank you so much. Tonight we are 47 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: talking about the day that was in the Big ten. 48 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: We just spoke forty eight hours ago, guys, and already 49 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: it seems like the world has turned over four or 50 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: five more times in the Big Ten. 51 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about that. 52 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: We're also going to talk about, obviously, as we do 53 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: every show this time of year, the latest intellent whispers 54 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: that we're getting from fall camps and practices and scrimmages 55 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: all across the country. We are also going to discuss 56 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: just the ongoing roster churn that continues at LSU. Hasn't 57 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: been a fun week down at LSU for a number 58 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: of reasons. But I'll tell you what was fun today 59 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: is amidst all the chaos out there, we got in 60 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: our hands for the first time, real life College Football 61 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: TV broadcast schedules for the twenty twenty college football season. 62 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: So we are going to talk about all that and 63 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: more in this show tonight. I got to clear my 64 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: throat for this one, because this is going to be 65 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: a really, really involved segment. As the Big Ten turns, 66 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: we should probably just call this a docu series or 67 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: even a docu drama. At this point, we have talked 68 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: about the Big Ten every Late Kick Live for about 69 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: the past month, it seems, and today, no different to 70 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: briefly play catch up, because I know a lot of 71 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: you have a life, and you have a job and 72 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: responsibilities and kids and all sorts of real life things 73 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: to think about during the day, whereas people like us 74 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: are just paid to peruse Twitter and whatnot. Boy, it 75 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: was a busy tuesday. It was a really action packed tuesday. 76 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: But then in reality, did anything actually happen? 77 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Don't know. 78 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: But if you missed it today, here's a little synopsis. 79 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: Take about two minutes, the Big Ten yesterday released that hole. 80 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: We had an eleven to three vote line up here. 81 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: It was in response to a lot of legal ongoings 82 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: from the Nebraska lawsuits, So they wanted you to know, 83 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: and they made sure to convey through the appropriate media. 84 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Mouthpieces out there. Eleven to three. 85 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: That was the vote, eleven to three, not even close, 86 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: so clear, abundantly clear. That was Kevin Warren said at 87 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: the time, and they reiterated it. Well, then this morning, 88 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: you may be doing your mid morning workout, you may 89 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: be eating some oat meal, you may be texting with 90 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: your sister in Des Moines, and all of a sudden 91 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: you look down and you say, what's this news alert 92 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: on my phone? 93 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Oh. 94 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: The President says that he spoke with Big Ten Commissioner 95 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: Kevin Warren. 96 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: What in the world is this about? 97 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: As I told you the other day, and as I 98 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: will reiterate here, we are not getting political, never have, 99 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: never will on this show. 100 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: So I'm strictly going to tell you what happened. 101 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: What happened according to the President and according to people 102 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: in the Big Ten League office, the President offered testing 103 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 2: support and federal support, and basically Keta said, Hey, what's 104 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: it going to take to get the Big Ten to play? 105 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: And so that's kind of what a lot of us 106 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: have been asking already. 107 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: So that happens, and then subsequently, as is to be expected, 108 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: you get a lot of smoke in the Big Ten, 109 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: and a lot of people are asking some credible, some not, 110 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: but a lot of people start asking, wait a second, 111 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: is something happening? 112 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: Could this really happen? And then you hear a few 113 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: more whisperers. 114 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: And then you see some unconfirmed reports and some anonymous 115 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: sources being quoted as saying, hey, an October start to 116 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: the season could be on the table. Then a few 117 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: hours later, again from the predictable blue check marks in 118 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: the college football media world, you have people shooting down 119 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: that narrative via league sources. I'll let you guess who 120 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: that source is. You probably don't have to guess who 121 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: I'm talking about here. And not only did they perfectly 122 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: serve as mouthpieces for everything that the Big Ten League 123 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: office needs to be put out there, they also just 124 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: pure huboros here. They actually had the goal to criticize 125 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: Big Ten head coaches as pushing a narrative behind the scenes. 126 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: Can you imagine, dare you Ryan Day or James Franklin 127 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: or Jim Harbaugh, whoever it may be, behind the scenes, 128 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: how dare you push a narrative. 129 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: That's our job. That's not your job, that's our job. 130 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: Shame on you for, I don't know, let me check 131 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: being passionate about your job and wanting to play a 132 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: college football season. And then the creme de la creme again, 133 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: will let them go unnamed because I don't feel like 134 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: wasting our airspace with naming them. But there were a 135 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: lot of them out there today that suggested to you 136 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: the reader who apparently they don't think, knows any better. Yes, friends, today, Tuesday, 137 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 2: September one, twenty twenty, this all became political when. 138 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: The White House got involved. 139 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: That's when it became political, and not a second before that. 140 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: So if any of you think out there before today 141 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 2: this was political, essentially you're an idiot or a simpleton 142 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: that we can't even believe has the intelligence to turn 143 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: on a computer and read our columns. But now now 144 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: it's become political. Okay, thumbs up there, Let's move on. 145 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: I got a question for you. It's rhetorical. I guess 146 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: I should have put a Twitter poll out earlier today, 147 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: but this is kind of what I've been thinking about 148 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: throughout the day. Let's say we could reverse engineer this 149 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: whole mess. Let's say we could go back to August eleventh, 150 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: and let's say we're all excited about the Big Ten 151 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: schedule that's just been released in the last week, and 152 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: August eleventh rolls around and no decision is handed down. 153 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: We go to sleep that night and there's no season postponement. 154 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: There's no announcement from the league office. The Big Ten 155 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: has just decided we're gonna wait it out. We're gonna 156 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: do what the SEC is doing, and the ACC and 157 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: the Big Twelve. We're gonna wait it out. You know, 158 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: we still reserve the right to cancel this thinger postponent 159 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: down the road, but there's really no wisdom in making. 160 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: A move on August eleventh. Let's say that happened, and 161 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: let's say that that day. 162 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: Internally the Big Ten said, all right, September first, that's 163 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: gonna be our internal deadline. That's when we're going to 164 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: need to make a decision. That is the line in 165 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: the sand date. If that were to have happened, and 166 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: today was the day that the Big Ten and the 167 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: chancellors and presidents and whatnot, Kevin Warren included in this discussion, 168 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: if that was the date where they needed to make 169 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: a decision, do you think that they would make the 170 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: same decision today that they made on August eleventh. My 171 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: answer is no, at the very least, I don't think 172 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: it would be by the eleven to three supermajority that 173 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: was shoved down your throat via league documentation yesterday. 174 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: So that's one thought. 175 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: Now, what's happening behind the scenes is what we have 176 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: to worry about moving forward. Publicly, there's no change publicly, 177 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: you know, the Big Ten released a statement that, as 178 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: Big Ten statements have gone recently, included a whole lot 179 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 2: of nothing, and behind the scenes, it feels like there 180 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: are things happening, and I don't know exactly what those 181 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: things are, but here's what it seems to me is 182 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: happening right now. I think a lot of people in 183 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: the Big ten, a lot of people in influential and 184 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: or decision making positions, understand they overplayed their hand. And 185 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: we have documented this and we don't need to go 186 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: back on that. But I think a lot of people 187 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: up there realize they kind of overplayed their hand. Here's 188 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: what I mean. They didn't give you any data. You know, 189 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: they didn't release vote totals at first, but they really 190 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 2: didn't give you any data that could quench the thirst 191 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: for those seeking information as to exactly why the season 192 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: needed to be postponed. They cited various medical experts, and 193 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: they cited the intel they were getting from their medical experts, 194 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 2: but yet you didn't get the intel. And if it's 195 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: for the betterment of society and the student athlete safety, 196 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: you would think that's information that you'd want to push 197 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: out there immediately. So since people didn't get that, then 198 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: there have been a lot of questions to be asked. 199 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: But you've been told the whole time. 200 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: One of the biggest obstacles and the big ten that 201 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 2: we cannot find a way to overcome safely. Is rapid 202 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: enough testing, plentiful enough testing resources that it takes to 203 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: be in place to be able to test well. Here's 204 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: how you overplay your hand. You put all that stuff 205 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: out there publicly, and then you have someone like the 206 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: President of the United States call you up and publicize 207 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: the fact that he called you up, and publicize the 208 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: fact that he offered you testing because there's been a 209 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: lot of advancement in that area even over the past month, 210 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 2: and also offer federal assistance. So now I want you 211 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: to follow me here, think about how this plays out 212 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: over the next month. 213 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: I want you to picture this. 214 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: We haven't started the season yet in the Power five, 215 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: none of the Power five teams have played yet, so 216 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: still we really don't know how this is going. 217 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: To play out. But I want you to picture this 218 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: right along with me. Here. Let's say the SEC and 219 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: the ACC and the Big. 220 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: Twelve do pull it off and they get their seasons underway, 221 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: the G fives get their seasons underweight. We've got some 222 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: FCS teams out there with a season underway, and you've 223 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: got deeper pockets as a conference than all of them, 224 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: and they're getting their seasons underway without the need for 225 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: help from the White House. When it comes to testing 226 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: and federal help, they're doing it on their own. 227 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: You not only have. 228 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: Deeper pockets than them, therefore more plentiful resources than them. 229 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: You got offered federal help, and you said, now we're good. 230 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: How's that play? I don't think it plays too well. 231 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: I think you can see the problem there. So I 232 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: think some people who were initially very vocal about this. 233 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: If you'll notice, we kind of pointed this out Sunday night, 234 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 2: and I continue to point it out. There were a 235 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 2: lot of people, head, coaches, players, you remember the petitions 236 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: going around. 237 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: A lot of people were very vocal. 238 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: As soon as this decision was handed down, there was 239 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: this ground swell of the let us play a movement, 240 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: let us play, let us play well. 241 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: Then some of those same voices. 242 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: The volume kind of got turned down a little bit, 243 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: if you'll notice, over the last week to week and 244 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: a half. 245 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they lost their interest in this. 246 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: I don't think they just calmed down and accepted the 247 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: inevitability that there's not going to be a season. I 248 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: think that a lot of people in the Big Ten 249 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 2: who are in reality the most passionate about getting this 250 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: season underway as soon as possible, started to get a 251 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 2: sense that maybe there were some things turning behind the scenes, 252 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: and they thought it best to just have some patience, 253 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: sit back and let's see how this plays out. If 254 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: this does not play out, where it finally appears completely locked, 255 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: thrown away the key, we cannot get a fall season. 256 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: And I think you'll hear a lot louder voices from 257 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: a lot of influential people up there even than they 258 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: were the first time around. So it's still not too late. 259 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: As I said today, it is still not too late. 260 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: If the right minds were changed in the Big Ten. Again, 261 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: we sit here on September first, there is nothing other 262 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: than hurt pride potentially that is standing in the way 263 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: if the mind's up there changed of the Big Ten 264 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: getting their season off the ground in mid October and 265 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: being able to align with the other Power five conferences 266 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: and tie in with what you would normally tie in, 267 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: and that is a road that eventually leads to a 268 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: college football playoff. Ask yourself, what's standing in the way? 269 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 2: Is it data? Those numbers have been trending in the 270 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: right direction. If they're not show them to you haven't 271 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: seen him yet, have you. Understandably? A lot of people 272 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: still been out of shape about this. And I would 273 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 2: guess Colin that we have another show Thursday. I guess 274 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: we'll probably talk about the Big Ten again Thursday. 275 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: Just a wild guess. 276 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about football here Camp Intel a 277 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: whole lot of stuff going on. We have brought you 278 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 2: this every show for the past several weeks is soon 279 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: as camp's opened, and this one's no different. And what 280 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: we're trying to do is we use to meet an 281 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 2: unparalleled network of team insiders that we have at twenty 282 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: four to seven sports dot Com. 283 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: Think about it. 284 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 2: Even right here, as we sit here now, there is 285 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: somebody who is totally dialed in on Oklahoma State football. 286 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: There are teams dialed in from Miami to Notre Dame 287 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: to North Carolina everywhere in between. And all we have 288 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: to do is ring them up, give them a text, 289 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: and we have immediate access inside the best access that 290 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 2: you could possibly have to college football teams. 291 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: Think about how closed off you've been. 292 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: You don't even have access to anything right now, So 293 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 2: how are you supposed to know what's going on in camps. 294 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: We're gonna tell you that's how so at Notre Dame. 295 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: Really big news today actually the Notre Dame running back situation. 296 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 2: Brian Kelly confirmed. First off, Kyrien Williams is their first 297 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: stringer right now. Now, there's been a lot of movement there. 298 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: You remember they had a COVID outbreak, so there been 299 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people who have and haven't been able 300 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: to practice. Well, Kyrine Williams right now emerges as the 301 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: number one tailback for Notre Dame. More on that just 302 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: a second. But also, I see it at Ekwanu. I 303 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 2: wanted to memorize the name. I didn't want to read 304 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: it or see it. Aquanu linebacker, okay, an outside edge 305 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: rusher type. Brian Kelly just kind of reveals today, Oh, 306 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: we're gonna work him at running back too. Now, this 307 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: guy played running back in high school. Those of you 308 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: who follow Notre Dame recruiting, you know that he is 309 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: a load. He's the kind of guy who is built 310 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: like an outside linebacker or maybe even an inside guy, 311 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: kind of like you looked at Derek Henry when he 312 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: was coming out of high school. A lot of people 313 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: said that guy can't play running back. Look how big 314 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: he is and oh my goodness, he's playing run. Did 315 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: he just win the Heisman? Now I'm not calling heisman here, 316 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: I'm not even calling starting reps. What I am saying 317 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: is versatility. Short yardede situations. You need someone to pound 318 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: it in from the two yard line. 319 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: You got options there. Now. 320 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: What I also found very interesting from Brian Kelly today, 321 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: he said a lot if you guys are Notre Dame fans, 322 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: I I should go watch this press conference. 323 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: But you know what he said today. 324 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: He said, we've pretty much got our starters figured out. 325 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: Now, he said we got competition. 326 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: Yes, because every coach is just required to say that 327 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: this time of year, But Brian Kelly, head coach at 328 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: Notre Dame, said, we pretty much got our ones figured out. 329 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: You don't hear that very often. 330 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: I don't know whether to be excited about that or 331 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: have a little trepidation about that, but hey, at least 332 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: you know what you got, or apparently that Notre Dame 333 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: coaching staff knows what they have. I want you to 334 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: go back now to twenty seventeen. Do you remember the 335 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen season. Colin and I were talking about it 336 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: before the show. How now, well do you remember twenty seventeen? 337 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: In some ways, it seems like yesterday. In other ways, 338 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: it seems like a couple of decades ago. At Florida State, specifically, 339 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen is the year where they opened against Alabama. 340 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: It was like number three versus number one. It was 341 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: the first college football game in Mercedes Benz Stadium. Yours 342 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: truly was standing right there on the sideline. Late in 343 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, DeAndre Francois goes down. I think it 344 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: was Ronnie Harrison or somebody for Alabama who injures him, 345 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: knocks him out for the season, and a kid by 346 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: the name of James Blackman comes in. That's right, the 347 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: same James Blackman that was named starting quarterback for Florida 348 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: State today. That was also the guy who played quarterback 349 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: for Florida State back then. Think with me what this 350 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: guy's been through. He was there when Jimbo Fisher was 351 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: still the head coach at Florida State in twenty seventeen. 352 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: That was Fisher's last year he was there and ended 353 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: up getting the starting job. After Francois goes down. He's 354 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: there throughout the entire Willie Taggert debacle. It seems like 355 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: he's been through half a dozen coordinators, and I think 356 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: that number is kind of close to reality. And now 357 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: Mike Norvel comes in no Spring, so another new offense. 358 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: This guy probably knows half the offenses in college football 359 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: by now, and Mike Norvel names him his starting quarterback. 360 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: I tend to believe that out of all the offenses 361 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: he's played in, and there's been a bunch of them, 362 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: everything this side of the triple option, this is probably 363 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: one that he's best suited to play in. I listen, 364 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: there's not a whole lot of intel to be had 365 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 2: here because there's not a whole lot to know about 366 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: what Mike Norvell and Florida State are going to be 367 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: able to do. 368 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: But if there's a guy you want to root. 369 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: For in college football this year, if you want to 370 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: see a guy who's overcome a whole lot of adversity, 371 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 2: might I suggest James Blackman, because that's the guy who's 372 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: been through the ringer at Florida State, didn't transfer either, 373 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: been there the whole time. 374 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: Now let's get a little more in depth. Let's go 375 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: to Tennessee. 376 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: Tennessee is a team who has got a ridiculously tough 377 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: schedule again this year. 378 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: They also finished kind. 379 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: Of hot last year and then they won a bowl game, 380 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: so they have some expectation. Third year under Jeremy pruittt 381 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: offensive line is now in a position where it's no 382 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 2: longer this glaring weakness. It may even be a strength, 383 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: may be one of the best in the country for 384 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: all we know. Sure would help to have Cade Mays 385 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: eligible at big tech at NCAA. 386 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: But I'm of the. 387 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: Opinion, and we're going to talk about this more in 388 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 2: our Tennessee Grand season preview coming up in the next 389 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Least date on that yet, but I'm 390 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: of the opinion that if Tennessee and Jeremy Pruitt are 391 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: to shock the world this year, if they are to 392 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 2: be one of the surprise teams in college football this year, 393 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 2: they have to be the most physically dominant offensive team 394 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: in the SEC. That's what their hallmark has to be 395 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: this year. And I'll tell you what they really need. 396 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 2: Aside from that offensive line and a couple of reliable 397 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 2: tailbacks and consistency at quarterback, they need versatility and they 398 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: need physicality at that tight end and h back position. 399 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 2: Blocking at those positions was pretty good. 400 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: Last year. 401 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: They had Dominic wood Anderson, who has since moved on 402 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: to the NFL, and they had Austin Pope. Well, as 403 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 2: I said, wood Anderson gone, Austin Pope had back surgery 404 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: in the offseason, and so now you're looking at that position. 405 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: It's overlooked. No one ever talks about h back and 406 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 2: tight end. But yet it's going to be a really, 407 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: really integral part to what Tennessee's trying to do this year. 408 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: So I was looking over on Valls twenty four to 409 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 2: seven today and they were talking about this. 410 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: Actually, they were. 411 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: Kind of tossing some ideas back and forth. And you know, 412 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: Princeton Fan, for example, is a name on that roster. 413 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: He's going to play, you know, very meaningful football for 414 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 2: them this year. 415 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: That's a guy in the past that was more. 416 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: Wide receiver that they have molded and tried to turn 417 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: into a guy who fits this description and hopefully for 418 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: them it pays of Hopefully Austin Pope. 419 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: Is a guy that's good to go this year. I 420 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: think it's a. 421 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: Stretch to believe that they'll be in Week one where 422 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: they want to be at that position, but watch that 423 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: if you're watching stuff early in the year, Tennessee play 424 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: South Carolina in Week one, watch it. You know, for 425 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 2: all we know, they may beat Carolina but still show 426 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: red flags at a position like that. Or it may 427 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 2: be that you know, they beat him twenty three to 428 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 2: seven and it's not an offensive fireworks show, but yet 429 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: you say that's the style of football you'd. 430 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: Want to see from them. 431 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 2: That makes me think that no team's ever really going 432 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: to run away from them this year because they're able 433 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: to shorten games, shave off opponents possessions. They can make 434 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: it ugly if they need to. You know, it's not 435 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 2: exactly a vintage twenty twenty style offensively, but probably what 436 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 2: they're going to need to be this year. At Texas 437 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: A and M. We've got some loss and we've got 438 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 2: some opportunity here. So Elijah Blades has opted out. Now 439 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: this is the second opt out. Well I think they 440 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 2: had one, like in the last couple of hours. But 441 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: I'm Elijah Blades' this guy really want to focus on 442 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 2: because this is a guy who is going to be 443 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: a starting corner for them, and he's opted out and 444 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: said I'm coming back next year. So this is a 445 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: guy opting out because of COVID concerns. In other words, 446 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: so who are our starters here at A and M 447 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: at corner. Well, you got one in Miles Jones that 448 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: is pretty entrenched at one of the starting positions. But 449 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: now we enter into the equation potentially one of the 450 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: guys we talked about a lot in the last recruiting cycle, 451 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: and that's Jalen Jones. Jalen Jones is a guy for 452 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: obvious reasons, all those five stars next to his name 453 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: that a lot of Texas A and M fans have 454 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: been really excited about. I'm excited about him. Everyone at 455 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 2: twenty four to seven is excited about him. Probably going 456 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: to get to see him play a lot as a 457 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: true freshman. Well you already were, let me put it 458 00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: that way. Now you're probably going to get to see 459 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: him start. And if he doesn't start, he's going to 460 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 2: play a lot. And if he doesn't start, it'll be 461 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: because that Juco transfer Brian George is starting. George is 462 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: like a more physically developed thumper type, but good athleticism. Now, 463 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: but I'm really excited to watch Jalen Jones, and I 464 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: think we're gonna get to see him a lot this 465 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: year at Texas A and M also Colin I didn't 466 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: give you any elements for this. 467 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: I don't worry about it. 468 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: But you see the news out of UCF today talked 469 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: about twenty seventeen. Earlier twenty seventeen, the lowercase national champ. 470 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: UCF had ten guys opt out, a group opt out, 471 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 2: like an entire wrestling stable, just walk back through the curtain. 472 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: They're not playing now. 473 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't necessarily marquee names that you would recognize, but 474 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 2: if you're a UCF fan, you know some of these 475 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: guys were going to start. Several of them were going 476 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 2: to litter your too deep. So ten guys just up 477 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: and walk out on Central Florida today. That is enough 478 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: to completely potentially up end a couple of games in 479 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 2: the AAC this year. Cincinnati, they're watching Memphis, They're watching SMU, 480 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: think one of the biggest dark horse teams in college 481 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: football this year they're watching. So that's what's going on 482 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: with camps right now. Boy oh boy, how do we 483 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: even start this. Let's talk about LSU. That's how I'm 484 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: going to start it. You could probably watch one hundred 485 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: years of college football and not see a set of 486 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 2: circumstances presented to a team, the lights of which Edwogeron 487 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: and LSU are dealing with right now. Talked about how 488 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 2: it's very convenient that we just started adding a Tuesday 489 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 2: show today. Well, here's how it's convenient. When we last spoke, 490 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase was the headliner. That's what we were talking about. 491 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is opting out at LSU, and that brings 492 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 2: the magic number of guys who were on the twenty 493 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: nineteen roster who will not be on the twenty twenty 494 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: roster to thirty two. Well, now forty eight hours later, 495 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: we're up to thirty four. Just keeps on climbing, and 496 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 2: now it's Tyler Shelvin yesterday, another guy who is projected 497 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: by some to be a first rounder. 498 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: I know some people. 499 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: Debate that at the very least a high impact future 500 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: Sunday player. Another one has opted out at LSU. The 501 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: magic number, as I said, is now thirty four. You 502 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: lose two more surefire starters here. So where are we at? 503 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: Well? 504 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: Edwards Ron spoke with the media today and he said 505 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 2: I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Well 506 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: he didn't say that that was his attitude. What he 507 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: said was, yeah, there are a couple more of them 508 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 2: that are talking about opting out, and I hope they don't, 509 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: but it may not be over is the point? Now 510 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: there are some names being thrown around. There's probably a 511 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 2: fair amount of skill at this point. I mean, look 512 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 2: at the few left on LSU's roster that would benefit 513 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 2: from opting out and looking ahead to the NFL, I mean, 514 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: who down there at this point would even fit that description. 515 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: Aren't many names. So there are a few names, but 516 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: we'll see. Hopefully that's not something we end up talking about. 517 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: But you've had the roster turnover the likes of which 518 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: you would normally have to add up three seasons to 519 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: accumulate LSU's deal with it in one off season. You've 520 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: had off field issues recently, Orsuron's had personal issues in 521 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 2: his life that were pretty well chronicled early. 522 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: In this year that I don't really feel like getting into. 523 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 2: And now this ed Orzuron's twenty twenty will be one 524 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 2: of the best college football autobiographies that you'll ever read 525 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: several years from now. I would recommend, in fact, that 526 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 2: he writes one book about twenty twenty and another book 527 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: about the rest of his life, the rest of his 528 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: college football career, because that's how involved twenty twenty has 529 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: been so far. I had an odds maker tell me 530 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: in comparing the LSU twenty nineteen team to the LSU 531 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty team, because that's really what you want to know, 532 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 2: like how much have they dropped off? Well, you know, 533 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 2: not that a point spread is the end all be all, 534 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 2: But I had an odds maker tell me hypothetical matchup 535 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen LSU versus what we have now after the 536 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 2: Shelvin opt out and the Chase opt out twenty nineteen 537 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: LSU favored by three touchdowns versus twenty twenty LSU. 538 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Do you understand how insane and that is? 539 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: Might I remind you very rarely do odds makers assign 540 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 2: more than three points of value for any one player, 541 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 2: and that's an elite quarterback somebody like that. Twenty one 542 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: points three touchdowns worth lost in on field any given 543 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 2: Saturday value crazy stuff. I saw Shay Dixon over on 544 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: the Go twenty four to seven site that probably had 545 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: one of the boldest undertakings in the history of sports media, 546 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: and that is attempting to put together the current LSU 547 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: depth chart. 548 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: It's a brave move, partly. 549 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: Because you got a lot of moving pieces down there, 550 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: and the other part is cause it may be irrelevant 551 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 2: in the next day. According to Edwar's Ron himself, I 552 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 2: know it sounds kind of like I'm joking around about this. 553 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: My approach here is the only other option is to cry, 554 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 2: So let's not cry on air, and instead let's just 555 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: shake our head and call it for what it is. 556 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: But I want to tell you this on a very 557 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: serious note. I know a lot's going wrong right now. 558 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: LSU is probably not going to be a national championship 559 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: team this year, but I want to tell you this, 560 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: as great as twenty nineteen was for LSU, that's in 561 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 2: the past. And it's great to look at that thing 562 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: in the trophy case, and it's great to watch that 563 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: Clemson replay and that Georgia game replay. 564 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: And that's all fun, that's all well and good. 565 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: But if LSU is to win championships in the future, 566 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 2: I can guarantee you bet your last dollar on it, 567 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 2: that man ed ors Ram and the folks around that 568 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: program will be talking about how twenty twenty paved the 569 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 2: way for that title or those titles that they go 570 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 2: on to win, because infinitely more is going to be 571 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 2: learned through the adversity they're going through right now than 572 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 2: was ever learned last year. What went wrong last year? Conversely, 573 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 2: what's gone right this year so far? And we haven't 574 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: even kicked it off yet to start the season, so 575 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: at least if you want to shine some ray of 576 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: positivity on it, I would look at it like that. 577 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: But I do want to reiterate my position twenty nineteen. 578 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 2: You know a lot of people still look back on it, 579 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 2: and you know, it's kind of the age old question. 580 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: At this point, it seems was that a season or 581 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: was that a shift? Twenty nineteen It could be. 582 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: I think it was on a podcast, the Late Kick 583 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 2: Extra podcast, I made a meteorological comparison to a closed 584 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: cold core low and those are these low pressure systems, 585 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: real fun, very unpredictable, and if you ever want snow 586 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: in the South, it's probably your best bet. They form 587 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: and they're independent of everything else, and they bring their 588 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 2: cold air. They bring their own cold air with them, 589 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: so it can be seventy three degrees one day and 590 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: then it's seven inches of snow on the ground the 591 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 2: next day. This happened back in two thousand and nine, 592 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: I want to say, in Georgia. And the point was, 593 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: once it moved through, it moved through. It wasn't like 594 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: cold air set in for a week. This crazy storm 595 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: system comes in and it's seventy degrees. One day there's 596 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: the storm and next day it's like fifty degrees again, 597 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: next day it's seventy degrees and you're. 598 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: Saying, how did that happen? Well, it was just this. 599 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: Totally independent atmospheric phenomena and it comes in and once 600 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: it's gone, it's gone. 601 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: Is that what twenty nineteen is going to be for LSU? 602 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: That's the big question. 603 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: That's what everyone in the Remains to be Seen camp 604 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: is waiting to see. Here's the other unfortunate aspect, the 605 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: unfortunate aspect. I'm not delving into a whole lot of 606 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: the off the field stuff right now, because there's a 607 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,239 Speaker 2: lot going on everywhere, but I do want to say this, 608 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: when you have guys opting out, and you have a 609 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: guy like Jamar Chase opt out and Tyler shove and 610 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: opt out, here's the unfortunate aspect that a lot of 611 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: you have observed. The fringes get amplified today. It used 612 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: to be that you had crazy people in your fan base, 613 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: but you know, Twitter didn't exist, so you could kind 614 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 2: of you know, you heard them at your barbecues and 615 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: your cookouts and restaurants and family reunions, like you heard them, 616 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: but the entire world didn't hear them. Well, now someone 617 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: with thirty seven followers on here and had little egg 618 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: for a profile on Twitter, all of a sudden, they 619 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: can call Jamar Chase whatever they want to, and that 620 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: gets plastered all over Twitter and all over the Internet, 621 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: and seventeen hundred retweets later, everyone thinks, oh my goodness, 622 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 2: look at what those LSU folks are saying to poor 623 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. Well that's a fringe, but the fringe is 624 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: getting amplified. Well, here's the unfortunate aspect of that. Sometimes 625 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: people don't know how to interpret that. Sometime times parent 626 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: of a player, or a player themselves, or a recruit 627 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: or even an opposing assistant coach who's recruiting against you 628 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: could take that, put it in front of a future 629 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 2: player and say, you see that, that's how they treat 630 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: them there. That's how they treat players there. You're nothing 631 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: to them. If you can't play football. We all know 632 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: that's not the actual case for a vast majority of 633 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: fans there or anywhere. But just mind your p's and q's. 634 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 2: I'm preaching to the choir. I know ninety eight percent 635 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 2: of you don't do this, but that is something to. 636 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: Be cognizant of. 637 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: Just saying, let's move on, happy news here at least 638 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: to wrap the show up Happy news in that today 639 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: we actually had some TV broadcast schedules released. Now, before 640 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: Colin shows you these schedules, I want you to do 641 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: something for me. I want you to, for the second 642 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: time in the show, take your mind back. You can 643 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: close your eyes if you want to. Just make sure 644 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: you're not driving. Take your mind back to August ninth. 645 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 2: It was a Sunday night. We did an episode of 646 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 2: Late Cake Live. I was sitting right here at this 647 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: desk and we were going on air as tweets were 648 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: going out all over the place from various national college 649 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 2: football media types that it was expected by the end 650 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 2: of the week all college football will have been postponed. 651 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: You remember that night, It's like black Sunday. And then 652 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: shortly thereafter, the Big Ten did postpone famously. 653 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: And then the PAC twelve followed suit. 654 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: But then a funny thing happened and Notre Dame synced 655 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: up with the ACC and the other three power fives 656 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: stood firm and still aarm. So my point is, think 657 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: about how bleak things seemed that Sunday night, and then 658 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: juxtaposed that to how beautiful the image is that Colin 659 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: is going to show you. And if I were to 660 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: have been able to show you the TV schedule graphic 661 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: that we have released today that night, it sure would 662 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 2: have cheered you up, wouldn't it. We had to go 663 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: through the dark times to end up here when we 664 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 2: look at this the SEC on s We're gonna talk 665 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: about other conferences too, but the SEC on CBS schedule 666 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: partial schedule was released today. 667 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: Now look at that Week one matchup. 668 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: This caught a lot of your eyes, and I agree 669 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 2: with it, but a lot of you don't agree with it. 670 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 2: Mississippi State at LSU is the game that they chose 671 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: as their national broadcast game, the three thirty Eastern two 672 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: thirty Central game. There and a lot of you said, well, 673 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: Kentucky at Auburn will be more competitive, and Tennessee at 674 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 2: South Carolina will be more competitive. 675 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not. 676 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: I mean, certainly in terms of a pregame point spread, 677 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: you would be accurate there. But you can't be thinking 678 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: in mere football terms. Here executives thinking marque that's what 679 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: they think about. So you don't market a good solid 680 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage battle on the planes between Kentucky and Auburn. 681 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: What you market is defending national champ, gutted can coach, 682 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 2: Oh right, the ship Mike Leach. 683 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: Makes his debut in the SEC. 684 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: That probably doesn't all fit on the marquee mind you, 685 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 2: but you see what the mentality is there. And so 686 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: couple that with the fact that who in the world 687 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 2: knows what to expect from LSU week one. I think 688 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: the line on that thing is somewhere between sixteen points 689 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: and three touchdowns. However, it's week one. You don't know 690 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: what to expect from either of those teams quite frankly, 691 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 2: so we'll see about that. But outside of that, look 692 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 2: at Week two, Alabama hosting Texas A and M. That's 693 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: one of those games that, of course you can't know 694 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 2: this in week two, but that's one of those games 695 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: where we could look back at the end of the 696 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,959 Speaker 2: season and say, well, that's the one that decided the 697 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 2: SEC West for all we know. Of course, everyone's attention 698 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: gravitates right to that October seventeenth Titanic matchup Georgia at Alabama. 699 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: That is, by no one's surprise, the eight pm Eastern 700 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: primetime slot that they have chosen. In a way, we 701 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 2: get completely and totally robbed because we don't get to 702 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: see the full scene that a normal college football season 703 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: would allow Tuscan loose to Alabama to present on a 704 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: Saturday night, they're hosting Georgia, but still fun nonetheless, and 705 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 2: speaking of Alabama big rivalry games over there, I know 706 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't say it on the graphic here, Well, it 707 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: says part of what I'm about to tell you. 708 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: There is going to be. 709 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: If everything stays on track, there is going to be 710 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: an unprecedented television event on November fourteenth. Not only do 711 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: you have Alabama at LSU as a night game, but 712 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: you noticed the start time was six pm Eastern, not 713 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: eight pm Eastern. Normally the primetime game wouldn't be eight 714 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 2: pm like the Georgia Alabama game that November fourteenth. 715 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: Why is that six o'clock? I'll tell you why. 716 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: The Masters is also happening that weekend you're going to have, 717 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: if everything goes according to plan, a Saturday in which 718 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: CBS the company that on that Saturday and pretty much 719 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 2: every Saturday, I will be very happy to be working 720 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: for CBS will be broadcasting the Masters, and then they 721 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: will seamlessly toss from Augusta, Georgia to Baton Rouge, Louisiana 722 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 2: for Alabama versus lsu perennially the biggest game in the 723 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: SEC for the last several years. My prediction in an 724 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 2: uncertain world is quite a few of you will have 725 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 2: it locked on CBS and just able to throw your 726 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: motorway for that Saturday elsewhere. Notre Dame made a pretty 727 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 2: big announcement today, or I guess NBC and Notre Dame 728 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: made the announcement. We don't have a graphic for it, 729 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: but Mike Turco has done the lead play by play 730 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 2: duties for Notre Dame on NBC for a number of 731 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 2: years now does a really good job, one of my favorites. 732 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: In the business. 733 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 2: They made a change in that broadcast booth for NBC. 734 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 2: It will now be Mike Turico joined by Tony Dungee 735 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 2: who replaces Doug Flutie. 736 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:35,760 Speaker 1: Doug Flutie. 737 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: I know it's still going to do a lot of pregame, halftime, 738 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 2: postgame coverage, but that could be a really, really good 739 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 2: pairing there, Mike Turrico and Tony Dungee doing the NBC 740 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 2: games for Notre Dame. The ACC released some schedules today. 741 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 2: Two of note. In week one, you have Georgia Tech 742 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: at Florida State and Clemson at Wake Forest.

But the Clemson Notre Dame game. 745 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: Which is what everyone's kind of waiting on in the ACC, 746 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 2: that one is November seventh, and they wasted no time 747 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: telling you November seventh, you better be parked at seven 748 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 2: thirty Eastern, six thirty Central and have it on NBC 749 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 2: because that is where Clemson and Notre Dame will take place. 750 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: There is a whole lot to talk about here. 751 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: I know that we're kind of responding to a question 752 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 2: several of you asked me a what did we think 753 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: about the TV schedules that were released today?
